When I added the 1 cup of buttermilk to the flour mixture it was so moist it was more like muffin batter than biscuit dough. I had to add nearly a full cup of flour to make it kneadable. After cutting the biscuits were so soft it was hard to transfer them to the baking sheet. I know there are variations in this kind of recipe based on weather, climate, humidity, and the particular batch of flour. But this was so far off I wondered if perhaps the proportions in the recipe were off. I measured everything carefully, because it was a new recipe. I have a go-to non-buttermilk biscuit recipe that I have never had this kind of variation with. Has anyone else had this experience?

And they are so inexpensive. In December, I calculated that in our area, even with (expensive) organic butter, they cost 14 cents each.
